helllo fart
I know some of you will turn your nose up at this, but which one is the best? I have had fatty liver disease (alcohol-related, but I didn't eat the best, either) and luckily I'm not cancerous, so I'm taking the opportunity to eat better to help repair my liver (already quit drinking). That means cutting out red meat for now, refined carbs, ect. I want to eat more fish and chicken and whole wheats and all that shit.

I'm not averse to cooking and have made some kick-ass meals, but now with my diet shift, grocery shopping is an ordeal, since you have to sift through all the absolute garbage there. Sure, I can buy a ton of fresh meats and produce all the time, but I don't got time to cook a fucking meal every goddamn day. I've narrowed down my delivery options to perhaps Home Chef or Factor. Have considered Blue Apron and Hello Fresh, looking into Fresh-N-Fit as well, but I've read some people say that some, like Hello Fresh, aren't good about limiting the sodium in their meals. Any opinions on which is the best, especially with someone looking for a more Mediterranean diet because of fatty liver?

Also would prefer meals I can prepare in the oven. I actually don't have a microwave. Have been intending to re-arrange my counter space and go buy one, but of course nuking food wrapped in a bunch of plastic shit isn't the greatest thing in the world, either (not that my body probably already isn't pumped full of microplastics).

Thoughts?

Ramen / Noodle soups
56536545
Starting making some kind of noodle soup / ramen bastardization and the results were good despite how not asian and retarded I am. What are some good ingredients? Western ingredients qualify.

I use beef stock/broth, soy sauce, msg, egg, chili oil, cummin, and butter.

I didn't like sesame oil. Cummin is really dominant and it's ok but I want to replace it. I want something fatty and savory, no clear shit.

Deli meat longevity
IMG_20250406_000135-min
My mother bought me some deli meat and said "I've got that salami that you like" (after watching The Sopranos I've gotten a taste for gabagool).
As I could not get over to my mother's for two weeks I've just picked it up. It's been kept in the fridge so I thought that it's ok.
One lot looks bad, the other is fine?
How long is deli meat good in the fridge?
I assumed in deli's that they keep the big chunks of meat for weeks?

Subway introduces Doritos Nachos
Screen Shot 2025-04-03 at 11.25.54 AM
>In a press release, Subway said the new dish is “freshly prepared” using nacho cheese-flavored Doritos chips, topped with cheddar cheese, jalapeno slices, diced tomatoes, red onions and drizzled with a chipotle sauce. To make it more filling, customers can add rotisserie-style chicken or steak for no extra charge or a scoop of avocado for an additional cost.

Creepy hot dogs
7456456345
Why are the western world hot dogs canned? In some disgusting slime juice no less. Like wtf? And are you supposed to drink it or not? I don't understand. Cause for example if I'm eating canned tuna or corn, I'll drink the juice obviously. Im from eastern europe and living in UK and the canned/jarred hot dogs freak me the fuck out. Thankfully some shops have polish sections where you can buy normally packaged hot dogs like on picrelated right. (Why are you even calling them hot dogs? WTF? They are supposed to be called sausages)

Please stop calling this "BBQ" or "Barbecue". It's grilling, or cooking out, or having a cookout. I'll even accept a barbie, it's derived enough. But calling it barbecue just makes it confusing to those unaware of what actual barbecue is (the sovthern tradition of smoking meat and other food items for a protracted amount of time, infusing the smoke flavor into the food, often using a sauce, rub, or mop to create an outer layer on the end product).

You could drink any type of normal non fag drink like redbull, monster, mountain dew or vanilla coke and experience a much deeper, richer, more complex and actually good flavor for a cheaper price. In conclusion, only retarded posers and pseuds like alcohol.

Need some advice about cooking beef. Don't know what to look for in recipes.
I want to cook a beef joint for my birthday but I normally just do roast beef in a roasting tray, various different spices, versions etc.
This time I want to cook beef in a pyrex dish type of thing with a sauce rather than roast beef in a roast tray but I dont have a clue what to look for in recipes.
I want the beef to be soft, juicy and flavoursome with the spices rather than dry.
What type of cooking is this? Slow cooking, roast, boil?

I don't need a recipe as I will wing it as I see fit at the time, but any suggestions are welcome.
Any links to a recipe would be good though to know the process.

What is the best way to eat picrelated?
856754654
Like is there a secret? I rlly like picrelated, but when I start eating them I can't stop until I finish one pack, two packs, then I feel not so well.
Also have you noticed that there are way less of the purple & red ones inside than the yellow, green & orange?
